Capo 2
Well he's [C]eight years [C/B]old with a [Am]flour sack [Am/G]cape tied [F]all a[G]round his [C]neck
He's [C]climbing [C/B]up on [Am]top the [Am/G]garage, he�??s[F] figurin�?? what [G]the heck
So [C]screws his [C/B]courage up [Am]so darn [Am/G]tight that the [F]whole thing [G]come un[C]wound
He got a [C]runnin�?[C/B]? start an[Am]d bless hi[Am/G]s heart, h[F]e heade[G]d for th[C]e ground
Chorus :
'Cause he�??[Am]s one of those wh[G]o knows his life
Is [F]just a leap of [C]faith
Gotta' [C]spread your [C/B]arms and [Am]hold your [Am/G]breath
And [F]always [G]trust your [C]cape
Well he's all grown up, he's got a flour sack cape, tied all around his dream
He�??s full of p**s and vinegar, ah, he�??s bustin�?? at the seams
So licks his finger and checks the wind, it�??s gonna be do or die
He wasn�??t scared of nothin�??, boys, he was pretty sure he could fly
Chorus
Now he's old and grey with a flour sack cape, tied all around his head
And he�??s still jumpin�?? off the garage and will be til he�??s dead
All these years the people said the fool was actin�?? like a kid
And since he didn't know he couldn't fly, well of course he did
Chorus
